Tokyo : Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso said that he will not dissolve the House of Representatives for a general election before the Diet adopts the fiscal 2009 state budget, Kyodo News reported Saturday.
In an interview with media, Aso said it is essential to lay the ground work for economic measures.
Noting the necessity of electoral reform, he said under the current single-seat constituency system, it would be difficult to form a “grand coalition” with the main opposition Democratic Party of Japan.
